What we value at Cederberg Municipality

As municipal employees, we ascribe to the values as underpinned by Batho Pele, a Sesotho word which means “People First”. This initiative was launched in 1997 to transform the Public Service at all levels. Batho Pele was launched because post 1994 South Africa inherited a public service that was not people-friendly and lacked the skills and attitudes to meet the developmental challenges facing the country. Batho Pele is based on the following eight principles:

Consultation: citizens should be consulted about their needs

Standards: all citizens should know what service to expect

Redress: all citizens should be offered an apology and solution when standards are not met

Access: all citizens should have equal access to services

Courtesy: all citizens should be treated courteously

Information: all citizens are entitled to full, accurate information

Openness and transparency: all citizens should know how decisions are made and departments are run
